Best MLB Doubles Matchups — Tuesday, August 11, 2026
Top doubles spot: Tyler Soderstrom
Tyler Soderstrom (ATH) tops the board at 100, facing RHP Nick Martinez. The lefty is driving the ball at .081 2B/PA against righties this year — and .154 over the last two weeks, an elite bat that turns into a double in about 8% of his trips. And Nick Martinez has been tough to drive against righties lately — .000 doubles per batter faced. The bullpen behind him is roughly average to that side. He's hitting in a spot worth about 4.3 trips, so the volume's there. No real history against Nick Martinez. It all sets up in a neutral park.

- Alex Bregman (CHC) (99) vs RHP the starter: an elite bat at .068 into an arm with little track record against the same side.

Lineup watch
270 of today's hitters are still on projected lineups, drawn from each team's last game. Batting order drives the score, so these flip the moment official lineups post — usually about two hours before first pitch. Anyone who doesn't make the official card gets flagged "Not starting" and drops to the bottom.
How to read these doubles matchups
Each score (0–100) starts with the hitter's doubles per plate appearance against the hand he's facing — weighted toward the last two weeks, then the season, then a two-year baseline. Then it layers in the bullpen, his spot in the order, and park and weather. Higher means more of it points his way. It's context, not a lock — a great spot still goes 0-for-4 sometimes, and a tough one runs into one. The edge is in stacking the odds, and since we grade every board, you can see how often the top of the list delivers.
